Injured Climber at Cathedral Ledge
On Saturday October 10th, 2020 at 11:15 a.m. 911 received a call for an injured climber at Cathedral Ledge State Park. Venkata Damaraju, 33 years old from Atlanta, Georgia, fell while rock climbing the Funhouse climbing route. New Hampshire Fish and Game along with Mountain Rescue Service (MRS), North Conway Fire/Rescue and Brewster Ambulance service responded to the call for assistance.
Damaraju was lead climbing the Funhouse route. He was attempting to place a piece of protection when he lost his balance and fell approximately 20 feet landing on a ledge below. He sustained multiple injuries to his back, hip and foot. His hiking companions were able to safely lower him to the base of the climbing route after calling 911. MRS was able to access Damraju and lower him to a stable location before carrying him to the trailhead parking area. Damaraju was transported to Memorial Hospital in North Conway by Brewster Ambulance Service for evaluation and treatment.
This incident is a good reminder to all people recreating in the outdoors to plan appropriately when hiking. With the current situation of COVID 19 people are putting emergency personnel and volunteers at a great risk when they get injured. Having appropriate gear including face masks and latex gloves aids in safety.
No further information is available at this time.

VOTER ALERT: Unidentified Mailers Containing Absentee Ballot Application Forms
Concord, NH — Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald issues the following alert to New Hampshire voters.
The Attorney General’s Office has been notified that some New Hampshire residents have received unidentified mailers containing an absentee ballot application form with an allegedly hand written note. The message on the note states, “You are needed please fill this out and mail it in.” The mailer also contains a return envelope with the recipient’s town or city clerk in the address block.
State law requires that a mailing such as this contain the identity of the entity mailing and distributing the form. No such identification accompanies the attached mailer.
The Attorney General’s Office has received inquiries from election officials and voters regarding this mailer. Voters should be aware that these unidentified mailers have not been sent by New Hampshire town or city clerks. These unidentified mailers have not been sent by any State agency.
Voters receiving this unidentified mailer who have already requested and/or submitted an absentee ballot need not complete another absentee ballot application form. Voters can check the status of their absentee ballot here: https://app.sos.nh.gov/Public/AbsenteeBallot.aspx
